Timothy D. Edwards

I would highly recommend Mr. Edwards. I hired Mr. Edwards five years ago to handle a temporary child custody, temporary child support & spousal support case that went to trial. He went on to handle my permanent child custody and support case that also went to trial. My divorce decree was also finalized by Mr. Edwards. Later, Mr. Edwards handled the hearing when child support was adjusted because a minor had aged out of the system. He then handle multiple motions for contempt of court I was forced to file to have my former spouse comply with the court orders in effect. There has almost constantly been one contempt of court motion or another going for the last four years due to the noncompliance of my former spouse. In the last five years of watching family law cases being heard in Fayetteville I have learned there are two important attributes a family law attorney must possess. A proficient attorney requires a good working knowledge of family law & case precedent. Secondly, an excellent attorney must have the ability to cultivate good relationship with other attorneys and the judges. It is a significant factor in any case if the attorney is well liked and respected by his peers and judges. Mr. Edwards exemplifies these qualities. Some of my case fell out of state guidelines and required a the presiding judge to reach a reasonable conclusion. In court, Mr. Edwards was able to provide me with a strong argument of the circumstances based on his knowledge of the law and case precedent. Mr. Edwards is a steady individual to have at the helm of your case during what is an emotional time for you as the client. I have used Mr. Edwards for the past five years and continue to do so because of his commitment to my case. I appreciate the time and attention his staff devotes to the case. The Blackwell & Edwards firm has been a strong advocate for my children and me. They have actively promoted the best interest of my children using their expertise, compassion and honed command of the Cumberland County legal system. It is important to remember that you have obligations as a client. An attorney representation is only as strong as the information you provide to them is COMPLETE. Keep your financial records organized and always bring them with you. Keep detailed time lines of events. Make copies of everything. Documentation and communication is your burden. Educate yourself on the process. Ask questions! A bad experience can be the result of the client not fulfilling their obligations. Outside of the courtroom Mr. Edwards devotes much of his own time and generously give of his own resources to multiple causes in our community. He is dedicated to helping families find medical care they can afford, advocates for children, promotes metal health non-profits and seeks to improve education facilities. This speaks volumes of the heart and sensitivity of Mr. Edwards.

I retained Tim Edwards for my case. I knew I was going to need someone on their A game and extremely skilled also full of knowledge of the laws for what and who I was going to be dealing with. My ex husband was a former detective and had been in law enforcement for 12 years at the time of our separation. My ex let me know real quick that he knew his way around a court room and I would get what he saw fit to give me. Tim Edwards had his hands full when I came in to his office with my case. Tim has went above and beyond for me and my daughter. He made sure we were given what we needed and deserved after the hell my ex put us through time and time again. He was always there when I had new incidents pop up. Weather it was late at night or on the weekends his office and him handled it. He knew exactly what we needed to do next to stop further things from happening. We were in court immediately and Tim has always been there and ready to move forward. After a journey with my EX and some long days in trial. Tim did his job and more. He was on point with what we needed to get custody of my daughter and my divorce and the restraining orders i needed so my daughter and I could feel safe. I was awarded SOLE PERMANENT CUSTODY and I am beyond pleased with Tim and his office. I constantly refer people to him and everyone calls me and thanks me because they get the results desired and deserved. He's the best and has been for several years. When people refer to him in court they say "he's a bulldog ". I will continue to use him and always tell people my story and how and what he did for my daughter and I. I am grateful that he was willing to take my case. Dealing with law enforcement can be a bit of a challenge.

Tim is by far one of the best in this area. I recommend him any chance I get, I could not have ask for a better lawyer!

My husband wanted to adopt my daughter to make our family complete. We met with Tim Edwards and hired him immediately. He talked us through the process and made sure we were in the loop during each step. Our case was more complicated since my daughter was born abroad. I was told it could take up to a year but but in less than 6 months we just the stamp of approval right before Christmas. Since then, my husband and I have referred friends who have needed the best attorney to help with issues regarding divorce, custody, and adoption. All of my friends who hired Tim Edwards had positive outcomes. Long story short, if you want an attorney who will fight for you and get you results, Tim Edwards is your lawyer.

Mr. Edwards gave me excellent representation! I always felt he was available to listen to me and answer all of the questions that I had. He seemed to care about my individual case, and I could always count on him to be prepared and ready for our appointments. Mr. Edwards was extremely knowledgeable and obviously has had a ton of experience with family law. His staff is also wonderful. Diane (his front office person) was so kind and pleasant every time I was there. She always greeted me with a smile and helped ease my nerves and anxiety. I was happy with the outcome of my case, and I will refer any friends or family that are in need of a family law attorney. You can't go wrong with Blackwell & Edwards.

I had met Tim at a March of Dimes event and asked him to handle my separation and divorce. Tim really took the bull by the horns, so to speak, and handled everything for me. I never once had to stress about any of the legal, financial, or administrative decisions as Tim was able to walk me through the process, doing the leg work for me. Aside from counseling me through the tenuous legal process, Tim also provided a great comfort in what was a very emotional time for me. His services and expertise were invaluable to me. I highly recommend Tim to my friends and my clients as one of the best in Fayetteville!

I hired Mr. Edwards to help me with my divorce. I called, emailed, and had face to face appointments many times and he was always there to answer my questions and responded to phone calls the same day and to emails within 24 hours. He provided advice to me on things that I should and should not do and should or should not fight for based on the probable outcome and additional monies that I would have spent for nothing. His office staff is fantastic. Gina is on top of things and Diane is always so pleasant, patient, and understanding. I have referred several people to Mr Edwards that have also been extremely happy and will continue to do so!

I hired Mr. Edwards to represent me on an issue involving my settled divorce. He and his staff were extremely professional in every step of the process and I received the desired outcome. Can not say enough about Mr. Edwards! There is a reason he is consistently voted as the top family law attorney in the area.
